***UPDATE 6/23/16*** Codes are arriving now!

From the legend himself...

"For this month's update, the team has put together a video and some screenshots of an actual stage in Bloodstained. This is the game's first stage, where we find Miriam on a ship, the Galleon Minerva, headed toward the castle. It's a setting filled with anticipation.

And I have some exciting news: We’ll be showcasing a playable demo at E3. In addition to that, we'll be giving the demo to all backers at $60+ tiers.

This E3 preview is a simple playable demo and tutorial of this Minerva stage. The lesser demons we've introduced in the last update (Morte, Seama, and Dullahammer) will appear, and the magi-crystals players will obtain from enemies, also known as "Shards," will also be included."

Here's the demo info...

The preview demo that you'll be getting is the same build IGA and the team will be showing at the Xbox booth at this year's E3. We plan to start distributing it during the show or shortly afterward. Some FAQs (figuratively asked questions):

Who gets the demo? We'll be sending it to everybody who pledged at a $60 tier or higher and filled out their backer survey by June 13.

What platform is it on? Windows only; we'll be distributing it digitally, through Steam, so make sure the e-mail address on your survey is current!

Is this the Beta? Nope! The Beta comes later, and will still only be available to backers who pledged $60 or more and ordered a Steam or DRM-free PC version of the game.

Wait, now I want the demo! How can I— Your survey links are still active! If you upgrade your tier through your survey before June 13, we'll be sure to include you on the list.

I’ve got a $60+ tier, but what if I haven’t filled out my survey yet? Your survey must be filled out by June 13 to receive the demo. Send us a message through Kickstarter or email orders@fangamer.com if you can’t find your survey link! (Remember: We aren't using Kickstarter's built-in survey, so look for an e-mail from Fangamer containing your personal [and reusable] survey link.)

What... what if I haven’t backed the Bloodstained project at all? You can still receive the demo if you back the project through igavania.com/back and pick a $60+ tier by June 13!

I backed it for PS4. I seriously doubt my computer could play the demo, but nice for folks who can play it.

This and Yooka-Laylee looks so good. WTF happened to Mighty No.9?

This game looks better and better.My only nitpick is with the chest.It seems completely weird and out of place.Since its an development update, Im guessing that they just put it there an unfinished version of it to show a general idea of how they are going to be.

Edit:Actually Im starting to warm up to the chests.I still fell them are a bit out of the place, a bit more cartoony than the rest of the overall game design, but it is better than i first credited it for.

Good for supporters. Nothing new, in the REAL WORLD is the way things work.

But does they relly think "normal people" will spend $60 dlls in order to play a demo.
So sad for those people who bite.
So the game is going to be priced at $60 dlls i think is expensive for a 2d metroidvania.

Oh, looks like I should be getting the demo. Sweeeet!!!!

Seeing this and Yooka Laylee makes me laugh even more at MN9's failure.

No its 30$ digital, 60$ is only for the physical copy. I backed a PS4 physical copy and i am pretty sure this copy will hold its resell value or even increase in price overtime like many 2D Castlevania games becamse quite collectible. So i dont see in anyway you make a mistake paying 60, espacially with this free service

pretty cool, i hope the game is DX10 compatible

I backed the WiiU physical copy. I think we get a special KS Edition.
